never a lost case to celebrate!

Today is Pesach Sheni. It commemorates when those who could not bring the Pesach sacrifice approached Moshe and Aaron "Why should we be deprived" from being able to participate in the Pesach sacrifice. In response to their plea, G-d established the 14th of Iyar as a "second Passover" (pesach sheini), giving them a "second chance" to bring the sacrifice. A powerful lesson as taught by the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, "The Second Passover means that it's never a 'lost case.'" There is a custom of eating matzah on this day.

On Lag Baomer, we will have multiple opportunities for engaging and meaningful programs for you to join!

• Community: Eve of Lag Baomer Stories, Songs & S'mores​​​​​​​ around the firepit. ZoomZitz around the firepit with your own smores, enjoying stories and song!
• Neighborhood: Throughout the day Mendel will be performing music on The Uptown Porch. Enjoy a neighborhood walk or a drive, passing Chabad of Uptown, and enjoy the music!
• Citywide:Drive-Up Lag Baomer Celebration & BMX Acrobats Show

Not even a year old, but already saving lives, Hatzala of Houston will be joining the national fundraiser for Hatzalah chapters of North America. Please support our team to help them meet their goal!

A devoted community member donated custom material, washable and reusable face masks for the community. We have a limited quantity. Please let us if you would like to get one!
